    Looks like a total waste of a cash, AND you've lowered the resale value by several thousand dollars. Congratulations.

    yes because less power, buckboard ride, crappy seats and interior and constant motor issues are what I want in a new truck [;)]
    quote:Nice--what kind of other mods have you done to it--exhaust, air intake etc?
    Exhaust, K&N filter (no intake system required for this truck), new driver exhaust manifold (removes factory restriction), collector removal, 5" exhaust, bully dog pmt.shift kit and torque converter. 890 ft lbs of torque and 518 hp [^]
    quote:Looks like a total waste of a cash, AND you've lowered the resale value by several thousand dollars. Congratulations.Wish I could understand your reasoning, as there is nothing done to this truck that cannot be reversed.Your "waste of cash" is my enjoyment. The truck was payed for the moment it rolled off the lot, as are the mods. I do not finance anything. I asked for your opinion though, so I wil not gt ignorant about it [;)]

    Thanks for the coments

    Sounds like a good time. I have a bully dog programmer on my 'Hoe. Really surprises people with the acceleration I now have.

    Those are called damage enhancers. Hit something with it and it increases the damage to your front end, radiator, etc.

    A good winch bumber would be the way to go + some rock sliders in place of those nerf bar steps.

    Never thought about it that way... but it is true. It looks cool mostly, and he is a pretty decent driver I believe. Well, could always get a pipe bumper [:0][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

    which one the 6 point uh oh or the 6.4 clunk that gets 15 mpg? Ford hasn't put a decent diesel motor in their line since they ditched the 7.3. Fords are cheaper for a reason [}:)]

    crappy wheel well design. Tall opening, minimal width.
